wait for it


Make no sound
and you might sense me
the noise you make
drives me away
talk and my form
is shaken
move
and I am all
but blown away
I have moved
around you
all the time you have been
alive
you know me as fear
but you deny I exist
I can not be known
only felt
felt in the moment
when beauty peaks
when emotion is
filled to the brim
when the music falls silent
and leaves you alone
make no name for me
to identify me
would make me known
and once something is known
it is harder to feel it
allow me to be
in your stillness
and quiet
with you
still
hold
wait
wait

Words on something I am allowing to happen whether I want to or not.

ripping stuff up


This is one of my paintings digitized and all ripped up and put back together. No real idea here just playing with the media.

the individual again

I am back to viewing the individual as illusion
I walk around
doing the things I do
I place things
I remove this
I change the direction of my focus
I struggle with a physical malfunction
I achieve a new structure
the day moves forward
I think of one of you
then I think of another
You might be far away
but in this moment
when my thought is of you
you're here
the here I have
and I rehearse conversation
you interrupt
even though you're far away
we may argue
or engage in an activity
we never would
you are not here
yet you are all about me
and I about you
to get to just me
seems impossible
I keep taking your picture
is that still you
or am I looking at a distant part of me?
in the picture
you are moving something
lifting it and about to turn
I guess that after the picture was taken
you set that thing down
were you thinking of someone
when the picture was take
while you do what you do
do you think of me
or another
or do you get to just yourself?

-----------------------------------
Okay, What was that?
A Little bit about what I am doing- The writing above, or the mass of words above are "play" on the idea or thought fragment I have of "the individual as illusion". I came across (or pulled out of thought) the phrase a few posts back and I think I may revisit it from time to time, writing what ever comes into my head with out trying to edit it or make sense of it. Sometimes in the creative process I tend to try and think things through before I write. This usually yields very little product. I find it best to just let ideas flow with out trying to understand the end result or the conscious path. I really enjoy this process. More on this in the future.

Moment #3

This is not real

This is not real
it is someplace moved to feel
made to be
away from plain
closer with each twist
south of sane

I am right here
the trees are left here
they all lean that way
the sun goes down each day
it can be alarming
and then too charming

shaping the world to my whim
branches dance
as light grows thin
the dancing was a wish I made
the light's escape
the price I paid

-------------------------------------

Something to start off the year - a fast write - Don't Know?  Oh well!

One Year


Well I have been blogging now for one year. Sharing images sounds and ideas all throughout 2010. I think I'll continue into 2011. Please take the time to visit my other web places listed in the side column. For those of you local to the Philadelphia area be sure to visit the "Playing With The Spirit Coffeehouse" Link. I look forward to continuing to share what I can when I can. Thanks to all who stop by.
